Additional Information:


With her gamine good looks, beguiling demeanor and sweet voice, this radiant mini-skirted girl from Chelsea took London by storm in the 60s and 70s, both as an actress in films such as the acclaimed Blow-Up, and as the protégé to her late ex-husband, legendary French singer-songwriter Serge Gainsbourg. Together they recorded several albums, including the infamously sexy British chart-topper, “Je T’Aime … Moi Non Plus,” banned by the BBC in 1969 for Birkin’s erotically explicit sighs. An unlikely hero in France, Gainsbourg has recently been embraced by a new generation of rock hipsters, from Beck to Air, seduced by his stylish songs of love and carnal longing. In a tribute to Gainsbourg, Birkin and the outstanding group Djam & Fam of Algeria reinvent his songs in the dazzling context of North African Folk music, mixing Moroccan rhythms, soulful Middle Eastern harmonies, shades of Andalusia, and breathy vocals oozing with elegant sensuality.
